Don't know much about the speedpro pistons but the price looks pretty cheap. Remember you get what you pay for. Don't skimp on the pistons in a turbo car!!! Look into CP or JE pistons if I were you. Those rods would probably do. What are your goals?

Well the 2 I mentioned are good choices, I'd probably get CPs, I wish I had but it's to late I got JEs with a -31cc dish. My CC chambers are prety big and my compression comes out to around 8.5:1 I did skimp on the rods and got generic brand 4340 H beams. I have a eagle 4340 crank. If I were to do it again I would have got the same crank but eagle or scat rods and CP pistons. But my engine is allready built!
